I've got an Aquabee UP 2000/1 and need to find a way to attach a pipe to it's input side. The whole is threaded but i'm not able to find anything in US sizes that will screw in to it. A 3/4" is too big, 1/2" is too small and I have no 5/8" parts to test. :(

Here is the information I have on the pump.

pump output: 2000 l/h
hose connectors suction side 16/22 and pressure side 12/16 mm

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Ed

Try here: Flex PVC (http://www.flexpvc.com) They might have something that will help.

Just enter METRIC in their search box.

Thanks! Looks like they have got an adapter that looks like it might work.

I was also directed to McMaster-Carr and they've got some stuff that will do it as well.

I believe that Savko also sells some metric fittings.

FWIW, you will not be able to find any metric pipe or fittings anywhere local. I tried to get my local Ace Hardware to order some...the prices they wanted were ridiculous, like $12 for a 32mm tee :eek:
